Previously on Ron Chopper. Yeah. Oh, right. Tomorrow, this is where I’m thinking. Let’s go thrift shopping. I’m going to buy a Scotty Cameron straight blade. Unless this one goes in. Going to brekie and then we’re going shopping. We’re going to attempt to get from breakfast to Victoria Golf Store. A few moments later. Oh no. Okay, so went to this supertore. Everything’s brand new. Really nice. Nice. $50,000 sets of clubs. No putters, no secondhand Scotties. So, we’re going to keep looking. All right. Here we go. Surely we’re reck five. Oh, putters. Here we go. Fireballs. Five wood. Oh, you’re alcoholic. Like that what I was That’s what I was talking about. Like I’ve never seen that before. Okay, no luck there. We go to another one. The putter Scotty Cameron secondhand search continues. What do we do if we can’t find one? Continue to just three putt everything, I guess. I don’t know. Well, if if this one doesn’t have it, then we keep looking. Surely it’s just a search. It’s got to Yeah, but the one this the one down from the road. I should have just got that $200 Scotty. I should have just bought it. Yeah. Okay, we’ll go back there if we can’t. That’ll be gone. Yeah. Don’t think there’s any secondhand stuff in here. Oh, bit fancy for us. It’s a bit fancy. Rammed it. I did it. You got us here. I got us here. All right. That was half an hour of three trains transferring. That’s a I’d call that You know what? I’ve just had a eagle too. Yeah. Good. Like two good shots. Like two very good shots. One thin flash. It’s looking very much all brand new. Wrong shop. Second edge. Turns out your caret net eagle net. We’ve made it. Yep. This is all secondhand. Putters over the back. Are they all new? That’s a $500 Scotty. Found some Scotties. But $1700. The cheapest is what? 350. 350. We got one more place we’re going to check out. One more go and then if that doesn’t work, we’ll just go to the one next to us. The one closest to our accommodation and we said no, we’ll go find some better. It’s always a thing. You always think there’s one better. The grass is always greener. Yeah. All right. Another train this way. Another store. Uh-oh. Uh-oh. Maybe it’s upstairs. Come on, putters. This could be it. Right. So, I struggle with me alignment. That’s pretty good. Don’t mind that. We’re going to go to another store. Big store. Oh, these are Yeah, we’ve seen these at the fancy one, man. We’re in the wrong pot. Okay. Yeah, we messed up. They’re all All those are about 10 g plus, right? Beer. Yeah. Okay. All right. We’re back to the first store we started. Oh, is it still there? Yeah, it’s under mate, Scotty. Yeah, I’ve always wanted this putter. Only problem is it’s got the odyssey grip. This is me, man. I reckon this has like it’s got some dings, but I reckon I could if you get that refurb I know. It’s been 7 hours since we started and we found putters 150 m away from us. So, got one. I got greedy. I’ve actually gone three. There was another one in here. So, I got the very, very special one, but thanks to the boys. They looked after us. What’s it called again? Uh, this is a golf partner. Yeah. Rapangi. Rapangi. Golf partner. Rapangi. Come to this. Yeah. Actually, got him to subscribe to the channel, too. An extra sub. Here we go. Joel did as well. The dirty dog. He He chimed in late, but he got one as well. Good day, choppers. We’re here at and my goodness, have a look at this place. We’ve been dying to play a golf course like this in Japan and it’s finally happening. It’s the last day we’re here as well. Got the boys from Golf in Japan. Damon, pleasure, mate. Kieran. Cheers, mate. So these boys basically picked us up, sorted out the tea time, did everything. We just had to be ready in the morning and they’ve taken us here about an hour and 30 minute drive and absolutely worth it. This is going to be an amazing day. I got a heap of questions for you guys regarding what’s it like to play in Japan and what are the rules and how much it costs. So score predictions for me. For you? Yeah. Two over. Two over. It’s pretty soft today. I reckon he’s going to get under parath. Under par. Yeah. Course record 65. Just don’t. All right. Everything’s in yards again. So 5 53 divided by 7. Uh par five down the hill. Wow. Water on the right. I don’t know. Iron horse it. Yeah. I think I’m a big fan of driver, but I reckon you try and score today. Am I scoring? Yeah. Yeah. I went for it last video, didn’t I? I was trying to go for everything. There’s a lot of OB here. Okay. Should be short. Should be short. Yeah, it’s short. It’s good though. I have no idea where that landed. I just just landed and stopped. I couldn’t see it. All right, 236 m to go. Driving for an hour and a half. I haven’t hit any range balls. Have you had a part? Straight to the first tea. Here we go. Right, 236 over water. Three iron. Here we go. Oh, hook. Stay there. Not hit that very well. Stay there. Oh, that’s a good layup, mate. Good layup. Yeah, good miss. Um, first hole. Just let me warm up. Give me three holes. Give me three holes. All right. Going to go 54. I got to throw it all the way there cuz they’re quite soft here in Japan. Oh, the opposite of what I said. Good par, mate. New putter. So, played the first round here. I have a full set of Mizunos. Mizuno. Miznos. Mizo. Uh, putter is fine, but a blade Scotty Cameron that I have always wanted and I found one. Cost me 278 bucks and we’re going to game it today. What’s the worst that can happen? It can’t get worse. It can’t get worse. All right. Ready start. What do you What’s the weapon? Here we go. I’ve always wanted a Scotty like this. She’s got a couple of dings that they need to fix up. An Odyssey grip that doesn’t feel like it’s on straight. Apart from that, we’re good to go. Oh crap. Here we go. Didn’t have a practice putt. So nah jaws are death. I think that means I’m a good putter, but I don’t trust these bikes at all. Okay. Oh, got it. Got it. Hey, that’s a one part cuz that wasn’t on the green. That is That is a one putt. That’s a one part. Yeah, if you want to I’m Yeah, I’m taking it. Right. Even pass through one. Good start for me. We’re getting a travelator. It’s like a outdoor escalator to the uh next hole. While we’re on the uh conveyor belt up, um Okay. And most common question I got so far, how much does a game of golf cost in Japan? Like what are we ranging from? Mo cheapest to most expensive. Cheapest would be around about Aussie dollars about 50 bucks. Yep. Anything up to about top end golf course about 400. Okay, that’s pretty good. That’s cheaper than I thought. Yeah, Japan’s pretty reasonable. I mean, there’s just over 2,000 golf courses here, so a lot to choose from. Competition. Yeah. Okay. So, this one is about 100 bucks Aussie, including Wow. Including lunch. Yeah, that’s the other thing. So, most courses in Japan always have the break after nine holes. Yeah. So, you break, have lunch, and then pay the back nine. So, lunch is usually included in the package. Yeah. Um, is it lunch and a beer or do you have to pay for that? The beer’s extra. Yeah. Right. Second hole. Roughly 400 m just under. Going through a nice shoot there. Got to aim at that flag. That particular little flag that give you hope in the middle of the fairway. So, that’s what we’re going to aim at. Got the 3wood out. excited about putting. That’s probably the closest you’ve put it from that distance for a while. Yeah. Not good stats, but too much under the trees should be all right. Pel, he said right was out of bounds. So, what are they? 85% air in Japan. I think he said 80% 80% air. Yeah. Japanese less water. All right, we’re going to have to hack it out of here with a pitching w and see if I can. I’ll take that. Got through for a second. It didn’t touch anything. I think I thought I’d done it. Big Japanese grass. Big Australian man. That hurt a little bit. All right. Bit of an ups here. Got 50° out cuz I want to just throw it all the way there cuz they’re so soft. Oh, even more far out. So hard to make myself do that even though I just told myself to do it cuz you would never do that in a That’s perfect in Australia. We’re not in Australia though. New marker. It is. I don’t know if it’s helping, but little bit of hope before I hit each putt cuz it’s not my fault. Was the good player out of like right? No, no, no, no. Like just ask again. Scooted up there. I know like Scotty nickname scooter. Well, like a scooter. What’s that in Japanese? Oh, scooter. Scooter. Beautiful language. And a bit of Italian in there as well. No good there. Just hit it. Oh my god. Soft face. I got to give it a hit. Hang on. I have a practice. The top one. That’s your name in Japanese. You’re a forest. Yeah, that’s my name in Japanese. Yeah. First time the shirt’s come out in Japan. Yeah. Yeah, I’ve had the jump run. I had the jump run on the whole last video. Yeah. All right. Hole number three. 3602 yds. 360 m. Once again, this is so tight here in Japan. Every hole. I like the hole where there’s the hole on that side. On that side, you can just go stay there. Yep. I think this all right, don’t I? Yeah, they’re going left a bit now, but it’s early. I get a bit flippy and like full Australian lanky, man. And then I then I strengthen up. Then the putt gets good 100 m out. And I’m actually So in Japan, if you lose your ball for tea, they have a tea box that you come up to and you play four from here. I ain’t playing four because I just drove it here. Um 100 m, 100 yards, 100 m. That’s in meters now or that’s that’s yards. So 100 yards, but the flag’s back. Oh, okay. Oh, just fell backwards on it. That’s nice and close. Diff it. Dancing around the flags here in Japan. Old mate stood behind the flag stick cuz he knew it was safe. I came up over the bunk. All right, slow. Hit it. This one feels a bit firmer though. Yeah, that’s the problem, man. Come on. Help me out. It’s a lot of snappage with scooter. Sounds Italian, doesn’t it? Yeah. Look like this. That big ding. Can you see that? Mhm. But that would I reckon you could I wouldn’t, but we’ll take it to someone. All right. Play well, everyone. Hey to uh part jaws that it jaws it jaw it can that so this is Kieran’s putter. This is worth $3,000 condensed metal. condensed metal. I reckon you drop a ball now if you hold it. You take you take it. Yeah. Yeah. You can keep it if you hold it. Okay. Hang on. Hang on. Hang on. Eyes closed. He’s got it. The Japanese magpie. He did it again. I’d say positive words of encouragement. Your name is Magpie from now on. It’s It’s really hard. It’s a slippy path on the way down. Don’t grind again. Yeah. The biggest problem will be language barrier. Yeah. Okay. Yeah. And that’s why we provide our service. Yeah. So, um booking online or something like that, it’s possible. But if you’re not a number one a resident of Japan. Yeah. So, you have to have a physical Japanese address, contact details, that type of thing. Yeah. Um and then the language barrier. You can’t do those two things. Can’t do it. You were saying also that you can’t play as a one ball. No. Very difficult. It’s not impossible. It’s just very difficult. So, not all golf courses offer like the single Y thing. So, yeah. But we have a a different service for that. Y where we’ll actually um have one of our our team go out with you, pick you up at the hotel, take you out to the golf course, play with you, and that way you can get on just about any golf course we have. Perfect. Very cool. I I guarantee he was sideways. At least I was going driving it manually. We just took a gondola. Send it back up for the next day, mate. Cheers, mate. Hardest worker in the group. Yeah, he’s done the most work so far. Very cool. Got 175 m to this par three. I said that if I get a hole in one in Japan, I’ll get a tattoo on me ass. Yep. I am a good putter, which makes no sense because you didn’t putt on the hole. Perfect. Spot on. Yeah. Zero putts. Great putter. Oh yeah. I actually want to get a tattoo for a hole in one. So I’m a bit disappointed, but I’m taking that. That was a good shot. That sounded good, didn’t it? Well done, mate. Very good. These go right. Sounded really good. So, when I get back, I have metal mate set and these. So, I’m going to have to work out what I’m going to I reckon you can almost do a comparison or something. Oh, yeah. Good idea. Yeah, very good idea. I was that close to a tattoo yesterday. Grand keepers had a shocking night and he’s put the flag on one of these. So, no doubt I’ll probably roll this past the hole, but I’ll have an uphill come back or I’ll haul it cuz we never know. Scooter. I’m saying that wrong, aren’t I? No. You reckon? Back it in like that. Scooter. Nearly got it. I thought he was going to say something. I was. Oh, great. Couple of mag in the group. Nice. Hey, I don’t make them, you know. I don’t make them. That was good. Anyway, cheers. Three for three. It’s a long way to go not to have a go. driver. Crack. Yeah, let’s have a crack. 290 but like straight uphill. So dead straight. Just going to smack the driver. Just avoid everything. Just bang. Go. Just come out low. Bounce. It’s off. Bounce. It’s held up. It’s 20 short. Take that. make me rip stick injury still hurt. Right. So, I’ve been I’m chipping with me 50 a lot just to make sure it sort of flies. Normally in Australia, this is like a 54. Land it run it up. I’m just trying to throw it all the way there cuz it doesn’t too much raz. Oh, yank. Long. No, a little bit long. Ran through. Ran through. Can we make a putt? Make something over 3 foot. Go smash him. I call him in. Bang. Hear rattle. Yeah. Good sound. We call that That’s a gastro puck. A gastro. So, this is unique to this golf course. Every tea house, a little halfway house, you get a free snack. So, we’re going to get soup. Wantton soup. What’s one soup? It’s like a dumpling inside soup. Oh. Um, you were just saying that probably the biggest hurdle of playing is the taxi to get to golf courses. So, what’s the Yeah. What’s the way around that? Trains. Trains are amazing in Japan. So, you take a train out here and then all the golf courses will do a local pickup from the train station for free. Cuz he just said a taxi from where we were staying would cost about $1,000. Wow. Hour and a half,000 bucks. Yeah. Oh, both ways. Yeah. As in a couple of grand or thousand way. Okay. Still just take the train. Yeah. Yeah. It is a good option though because you can actually get a really nice car and the driver speaks English. He’ll take you all the way to the golf course. He stays at the golf course, waits for you or if you want to spend that money. Yep. Yeah. Yeah. And it’s the same price as hiring a taxi each way basically. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. Right. Like a higher car is much better. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. And a little bit more luxurious as well. The seaweed in it just just to warn you. Okay. You going to have yours, John? Oh, I’m busy on the tools, mate. Some of this got to work, you know. One of the most unique looking holes I’ve ever seen. Dog legs to the right and then swoops back up the hill to the left. Crazy. So, I’m going to hit threewood. I got to hit like a little cut off the tea and try and sort of follow the fairway. Give that a crack. Perfect. Is that it? That’s it. No more needed. Right. Go. Feeling good. May have may have grabbed a cheeky little beer. Joel’s had a shot. It’s 8:20, but with the time difference, that’s uh 10:00 p.m. in Definitely not 7:20 a.m. Nope. No. All right. So, really blocked out here, even though I hit it pretty well. I think you I needed a rip driver further down, but I think now I’m going to hit A9. Try and cut the corner slightly. Is that the play? What’s left? Bunda. Yeah. Mint. Cool. Japanese bunda. Japanese bunda. Big fan. Oh, did I shank it? I think I shanked it. This is a proper shank. It just went straight right, didn’t it? Yeah. Shot. Not it. Ready to start? No, that is a steep hill. All right, lost few ball, but I found a couple of sparies. Bugger. Any good ones? Probably these Kirklands. No, that’ll do. A couple of provisionals. Might need them. They’re going later on. So, line of entry with a car. Yeah. Shut. Get up. Oh, I’ll try and chip it in. Oh, stepped on scooter. Scooter. Sorry, mate. Another ding. chance if it’s long. Hole seven 397 380 m dog. What a cracking course. It’s one of those courses you play a hole and then you’re looking forward to like what’s coming over the hill. And so far unreal. Oh wow. Yeah, I know. It’s taking a while. I got used to it. Stinger 95 go time. What are you hitting? I’ll be just throw it all the way there. Y yeah. 58°ree with ras rass. Three rats. Sit. Sit. Sit. Sit. Just flushed it. just absolutely flushed it. I was playing for the towi one burger. When you come to Japan, what’s what’s the one word you need to learn in Japanese? Holiday means what does that mean? All you can drink. All you can drink. Okay. Yeah. And they do it here. So they’ll give you a 2-hour plan. They don’t know big Australian man’s coming and it’ll say like it might be I don’t know 30 bucks for 2 hours of all you can drink. Nami hoe. Nami hoe. Nami ho. 30 bucks. We should have known that. We should have researched that before we come over. They don’t do it in the Irish pubs or, you know, like Guinness and stuff, but they’ll do it with Japanese beer. Yeah. I think I’ll have a crack at the Japanese. We gave it a nudge. We did. Yeah, I’m sure. Did you pop that? I wouldn’t put that. You would chip that now. I would. Yeah. I back in my chipping now. Scooter. Good chip. Great chip. My padding stats would look quite good cuz I can’t hit a green. Technically, I haven’t had that many putts because I can’t hit a green from 100 m. Right. Par three, hole eight measuring 165 m. So, that’s perfect 7. I think we’ll go with that. Perfect. Seven. Nice swing. Hole in one tattoo. Oh, great fade. Oh, apart from the line and length, that was pretty good. That’s my new fade I’m working on. You like it? I’ve got the drone over the green, man. Like, all I need you to do is just hit the green. You know what? I reckon that shot’s angured up the blood. Sorry. Going to go lobby. We’re going up. Land it short. Roll on. Pton. I I skinnied that. That was a pure blade. You know, I blow up. Maybe we should thin it. Is it because you were side on? Yep. Mate, can you just stand side on for three footers? Just for three footers, mate. I’ll take that pile. That was good. Oh, I did something today. All right. Ninth hole. 144 yds. 300 100 344 y. Uh 320 m. Driver just having a lash here. Go right. Oh, I might go a bunker. Okay, that’s all right. Good angle combination. Good angle in. Good look from there. Do you want to have a whack? No. You hit this. Give it a whack, mate. I’m stiff. You just had a shot there. Have another go. No. Have a I’m getting the ball. Okay. Safe. Easy path. No, that could actually go down to all the way down. That’s a path. Hey, that that was all right. They come out low. Hey. Yeah, I told you. E. Yeah, but it had Raz on Oh yeah. Yeah. Japanese velcro. Oh my god. I hit that with like that was a part. That was authority. Yeah. What happened? Scooter. Maybe I’ll keep the grip on. See, it’s got a um Odyssey grip. Maybe leave it. A cheeky bird. It was good way to finish. Thank you. Me. That was actually good. Oh, you I just wanted you to miss it so it wasn’t easy. I part it. 318 yd par 4 downhill. No, two. What? Yeah. 318 par4. Okay. I’m going to pop with a threewood. I can’t take the the tea in. How do I get the tea in? Oh, you got to get that pole thing. Use the stick. Use the stick. All right. They just said tall Australian. Did they? Yeah. [ __ ] His body’s so long. That’s what I just said. Really? They literally said big Australian. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. He’s got it. No, the wind’s correcting it. Look. Oh, go a shot. Very good, man. Very good. Big Australian man. Nearly wet Australian man. Little chip in here would go down beautifully. Aggressive. Oh, good. Good parable. Par four. Drive the green. P. Good. Rod chopper. Guys, if you haven’t hit subscribe, we are on the road to 100. We’ve come to Japan to show this. Uh yeah, you’ve got to hit subscribe. We’re pretty close. What are we like 72 ish? Are you going to do something? If you get to 100,000, are you going to like host a party like I’ve said I will? You got to do like 5 hours unlimited alcohol. Oh, really? At Quanana Golf Club? That’s what I’ve said. Big golf day. Big. No, no, no golf, just drink. Okay. Yeah. Right. That’s easier to organize. Yeah. We’re having a piss up. Unreal. Let’s do it. Oh, no. All right. Par five. 553 yds. 5 30 m. 20. Big one. This no doubt has a couple of I’m just going to hit stinger. So, soho stinger. So, stinger call. Sheho. Sheho. Stinger. Gone. The second word in Japanese. Say that ball. Yes. Good angle in. You should have said card it down the right side. Oh, cut it down the roadside, mate. Yeah, thanks. Oh, that’s lucky. All right, we’re going to hit six iron just cuz I’m on a heel. Like I’d love to hit threewood, but that I’m like this little draw. It’s on a hill like that. Oh. Oh, what the how? Fine. Is it? Yeah. Oh, that’s probably what happened. I should have been given the game improvers. Was going to do a hybrid set slice towy one stump it 30. Yeah. It sounds fantastic. It does. It’s a It’s a stock standard Ron. What’s your score? What are you two over? It looks like a lot more. Feels more. One day I’m going to It’s going to look good. Stop curling. Oh, Raz. Wow. Bit better. This came out like a rocket with just RZ. I needed three Raz. Back of the green. I’m fine here. Birdie chance. It’s going to be an ugly. It’s a working man’s birdie. That’s what I’m going for here. Little bit of sling. That was a dirty par. That’s just a dirty par. You almost don’t deserve it. No. No. No. Put me down for a six. Give me a six. We’ll take a p. Right. 125 m par 3. Got a pitching wedge. This is go time. Straight at it. Just straight at it. Good swing. Come on. Smoothie go. Razed. Where’d it go? It’s over the bunker. Is it in the bunker? Okay. Straight with a bit of like it goes left at the end. What do you reckon? I’ll have a look. Hold on. That’s so much quicker now. You’ve smashed it. So much quicker. Oh, that was perfect. Hey, tell you what. Do you reckon it’s a putter or the both? Power Ranger. Sell both as a package. Jesus Christ. Ball marker. How’s the course look on the drone, mate? The drone footage is incredible of this place. Yeah, I can. Very, very nice. We’ve done well. The boys have taken us to one of the better places. Yep. Oh, didn’t hit it very well, but it’s going to be okay. Go. Just travel straight at the flag. Yeah, I like that little flag there just to give you hope and aim at something. Yeah. Right. 109 in 54° pass the flag. Rest. Rest. Fade. Fade. Fade. Go. Just short. Just short. Miss green again. That’s not too thick. So, this is a P. Sometimes it’s pretty rough. This one’s mowed down. The green’s a bit quicker, too. So, I’m just trying to justify putting from off the green. Sounds good. Yeah. Since you can chip, you just you would be like, “Put mate. Pardon?” Yeah. I normally Yeah. But you know what? Like I got a bit of confidence now. And this? Yeah. Yeah. I’d chip this. Really? Yeah. How the tables have turned. I know. It’s pretty good. I’m I’m two over and it’s that’s I think it’s go time. We shoot 80 or we go down swinging. Big fan. Big fan. All right, let’s have a crack. Let’s finish with a bang or lose all the balls in my bag. Or Yeah, finish with a bang or a pop on it. 498 yd for 70 m par five. Short, but very narrow. A little bit to the right, I think. So, we’re just going to hit the uh the stinger. Hold on. So, what did you say? 4 what? 498. 498 yards. Yeah. Yards. Okay. Try and get an exact meterage. What do you think it is? 4 473. Okay. I’ll have a think about it and I’ll tell you my answer. Okay. 453 m. I’ll be honest. I didn’t mean to hit it there. It looked good. It looked like you did. I didn’t mean to hit it there, but we’ll take it. I thought it was going to clip that tree. We’ll never know. We’ll never know. What is it? What did you say? 472. I said 453. It’s 455. Got him. One up. Okay. 192 m but downhill. Winds up behind us a bit. Going to go six cuz I want us to just really high. Big full swing at it too. Not like a pokey one. A Pokéball. Right. I think I’m going to go straight through the V of that tree. Real big high six. is absolutely roosted. Big claps from the boys when it lands. Right. Ready. I flubbed it. Just going to be short, I reckon. Ah, look where I’ve hit it. They nearly don’t make any more club. That’s why I don’t play baseball. Perfect layer. Oh, now what are you doing? I like everything tells me to land it short, but I know it doesn’t. It has to bounce through that, you reckon? No. Try dunk it, man. Dunk it. Just dunk it. All right. All right. Pushed it. Sorry, mate. Pretty good. That’s probably one of the best shots I’ve hit so far. 30 one over. Right, keep going. Attack mode. Yeah, wind’s picking up. I know. Downwind though. Hopefully. Sounds good though. Audio is spot on. We’re all over it. I don’t know. Don’t know. How would we know when we go back to Australia? What are we again? Lemon jelly. Like is that dessert? Yeah, like a uh like a like a jello. Oh, right. Oh, me. You have one? Yeah. Another shot. Yeah. You got pretty angry after that shot. I was just a bit disappointed in me. Yeah. So, when you’re playing in Japan, Yep. what would you say? How much time would you allow for for the game of golf? For the game, the lunch, the game, and then you you don’t say after you do, you just go once you finish. Exactly. you yeah 6 hours for the game and lunch but then like you know depending where you’re playing like 2 hours to get back in the car could be depends how early you played if you get caught in rush hour or an accident or something it takes ages so you want to allow 8 hours for the day 9 hours usually it’s 2 and after 2 and 1/2 hours for nine holes hour for lunch hour for lunch how many beers do you have for seven seven beers seven you have seven beers after nine holes standard. Yeah, we just we just said I’m shooting 85 or I’m trying to shoot under path. One over par, 394 yard, 360 meter. I’ve got another cam. My math’s gone, mate. I’m not listening anymore. I’ve kind of checked out to be honest. Mayara, I reckon it’s an 80. Oh, well, we’re shooting 80. That settles it. Yeah. Yeah. Good. That’s always double cropped it. Provisional. I’m bloody good. Okay, so I just hit one out of bounds on possibly the widest hole I’ve ever teed off on. Were you gonna say something? No. About it being so wide? No. Now you’re going to say something? No. You thinking it? I’d be thinking it at home. That’s like a football oval. Missed it. All right. God, just working and then I can’t eat off the tea. What a stupid game.
